Instagram Roundup | May

I love Instagram and this year in particular have been more active on it than ever. I document so much of my life on the platform and love that I can look back over the past few moths or even years to see the things that I got up to. So each month I've now decided to so a monthly Instagram roundup to pinpoint the highlights of my month, as well as to share it with anyone who does not follow me on Instagram either!

This month has been very eventful for me; not in the sense that I've travelled places and seen things, but in the sense that this month has led to drastic changes in my life.

Loyalty To Dove

When I think of anything beauty related, in general I have no loyalty to any brands in terms of a specific product. I love trying out different foundations, the amount of lip products I have is indeed overflowing, and I get far too excited when buying new concealers! I'm not one for brand loyalty in most cases, beauty or not. But my one exception to that is Dove.

Where To Invest & Where To Save With Blogging

Blogging. It's one of those things that at no matter what stage you're at or how long you've been doing it for, there's more than likely so many areas that you wish you could invest in to better different aspects of your blog. Whilst investing money into your blog can certainly help to improve these areas, I know of many great blogs which have gotten by with barely shifting a penny, and so it may not be essential for everyone.

Most importantly, I personally feel that if you're a newbie into the blogging world or are perhaps considering the possibility of it right now, don't feel the need to invest financially at an instant. Blogging is something that takes up a considerable amount of time and because of that simple factor alone I see many people giving it up after a few months. The number of abandoned blogs on the Internet is probably extortionate! So just a personal recommendation, don't invest in something that you're not certain you'll love further down the line, and don't feel the need to invest at any point if you really don't want to - you can still create a successful blog without any financial investment.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors | Review

If you're up to date with all things beauty, then you've more than likely heard of the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colors. These initially came out in the US last year and fortunately arrived in the UK earlier this year! When they did, I just knew I had to pick some up, especially since Revlon make some of my absolute favourite lip products. They retail for £8.99 each and there are 7 shades in total to choose from. After some time, I eventually managed to grab three of them last month and have so had plenty of time to test them out and give you my absolutely honest review. 

A New Beginning.

If you've been a reader of my blog for some time, you may have noticed how dormant I've been around here recently. Life caught up with me with an over-importance set upon university and coursework, and then working every weekend doesn't help too. But I can now officially say that I'm back, and this time hopefully it'll be a permanent thing. You may also be able to see two big changes with my blog; the name and layout!
